Great fun - Although the wildlife were mostly hiding today, we did see a few alligators and some wonderful birds. Just gliding through the Everglades was a great experience and lots of fun. The other stuff at the centre is good too so expect to spend at least a couple of hours.

Great to ride on an Airboat but no Gators to be seen - Easy to find, very well organised but sadly not one Gator to be seen so rather disappointing.
Thankfully if you go down to their captivity area afterwards you can see some there.

Disappointing Customer Service Ruined an Otherwise Fun Experience - The airboat ride was enjoyable, and the baby alligator encounter was cool, but unfortunately the overall experience was overshadowed by the poor customer service. I couldn’t believe this was a paid experience with staff who seemed so unfriendly and cranky throughout the day.
The employee taking our food order became irritated when we added another item to the order, even after we left a generous tip. At the mining section, an employee actually raised their voice at us when we simply asked if they were still open, which completely caught us off guard.
While some parts of the attraction were fun, the way we were treated really took away from the experience.
